Psalm 148. Laudate Dominum.

1. O PRAISE the Lord from the heavens: *
   praise him in the heights.
2. Praise him, all ye angels of his: *
   praise him, all his host.
3. Praise him, sun and moon: *
   praise him, all ye stars and light.
4. Praise him, all ye heavens, *
   and ye waters that are above the heavens.
5. Let them praise the Name of the Lord: *
   for he spake the word, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.
6. He hath made them fast for ever and ever: *
   he hath given them a law which shall not be broken.
7. Praise the Lord from the earth, *
   ye dragons and all deeps;
8. Fire and hail, snow and vapours, *
   wind and storm, fulfilling his word;
9. Mountains and all hills; *
   fruitful trees and all cedars;
10. Beasts and all cattle; *
    creeping things and flying fowls;
11. Kings of the earth, and all peoples; *
    princes, and all judges of the world;
12. Young men and maidens, old men and children, praise the Name of the Lord: *
    for his Name only is excellent, and his praise above heaven and earth.
13. He shall exalt the horn of his people: all his saints shall praise him; *
    even the children of Israel, even the people that serveth him.
